Using Google Code as a project repository

Hi guys.


What about using a free SVN host? And what about a Google one?
It's very easy to configure your project in Google Code SVN service. Just follow this steps (I'm using Eclipse Helios):
  1. First you must create your project at Google Code.
  2. Then install Subversion according to your Eclipse version.
  3. Now you are able to share your project. Just open your workspace, right click your project and select: Team > Share Project
  4. A new window will appear asking for a repository type. Just select "SVN" and click next.
  5. Select "Create a new repository location" and click next
  6. Enter your project URL (something like https://yourproject.googlecode.com/svn) and click next
  7. Select the option "Use project name as folder name" and click next
  8. Insert a comment (or just let the default one) and click finish
  9. Eclipse will ask to change to the Team Synchronizing perspective. Click yes.
  10. Right click your project in the Synchronize window and select: Commit...
  11. Insert a comment and click finish
Ok. Your project has just been shared.

Just a tip:
In order to check out your project, you must have a Google Code password. It's different from your Google account. You may find it at http://code.google.com/hosting/settings.
